This is the scorpion that stung me. I found it on my swimming trunks. I didn't find it when I was putting them on, just moving them in the morning. Fortunately, the sting was not serious, and felt like a bug bite.






This is a picture at Augrabies National Park. The canyon here reminds me of Big Bend National Park in Texas. Desert on top, and a sheer canyon with a little river in the bottom. The Orange River, which makes the canyon, was running pretty low, and is all dammed well above the canyon. I was told that once they fill the reservoirs above, they let out lots of water and the waterfall at the canyon and the river become even more impressive.
